​​CMay/June 2020 exam series:
Cambridge Upper Secondary (IGCSE) and
Cambridge International AS and A Level
Many countries have decided to extend school closures into May and June, making it impossible for many schools to hold examinations. Therefore, we have made the difficult decision not to administer our international paper-based examinations in the May/June 2020 series in schools in any country.
We understand and recognize that schools and students have worked hard to prepare for these exams, and we will recognize that effort. With that in
mind, students’ mastery of their course of study and all the work put into this year will be awarded accordingly. 
​Stay tuned for more. . .
